I power my MixPre 6 (MK I) from USB C power banks (I have a couple). I’ll leave some rechargeable AA batteries in the included sled should I need to change the power bank mid recording but I never really need to. It’s a much cheaper solution than L-mount batteries and works well for me. A 20000mAh po ...

AFAIK he does (did) exactly this sort of thing.

I want to thank everybody for their reply! I won't sell the DT880 but still am very curious if there is a night/day difference between the both of them, and if it's worth to "upgrade". Initially, i was aiming for Neumann's NDH30 but (luckily) i saw that the cable is connected to the right ear, and ...

I'd be very interested to hear your appraisal of the Neumann NDH 30 (Open Back) for listening to or mixing classical. Having lived with them for a while now, I think they're really remarkable in terms of accuracy but more importantly the sound stage presented. Bob Hey Bob, It seems that not many ...

The Neumann NDH30s have a great bottom end. My mixes on them so far translate very well. I mainly mix on KH310s at work and KH120s at home so I opted for the Neumann open backs to supplement the 120s. No regrets whatsoever.

Subs are hard to get right even in reasonably well-treated rooms IME.

A few years ago, I used to hear something like you’ve described late at night. Very low frequency hum and very low level. Not sure what exact frequency it was but it was around 100Hz and also it didn’t pulse like the example you’ve created. It lasted for months, maybe even years. At the time, I lived ...

I get mine from Radionics. I use their own RS Pro brand in 1mm. Always in stock anytime I’ve looked.

So… I just have my windows PC plugged into the SSL 2+ Then the tracks i listen to go from the SSL to 2 chan els on my desk…. I plug my headphones into the headphone socket on the desk All my keyboards are connected the desk.. I can then play along to the tracks with my keyboards and vocals I don’t d ...

How do your 80ohm DT770s sound when driven by the SSL 2+?
You could just run your mixer outputs into the SSLs line inputs and monitor from that.

Thanks Hugh! That clears it up perfectly

I’ve just bought a pair of Neumann NDH30 headphones. They sound excellent to my ears and I like them a lot. In the literature it says “the NDH30 is supplied with a cloth covered cable that is internally balanced”. Now, I’ve heard about balanced headphones, but don’t they require a 4 pin connector of ...

I almost agree with you but Orchid kit is much more expensive since they handed distribution over to Showbitz, (Micro DI has gone from £28 to £43, Classic nearly doubled from £36 to £68) still not expensive but less of an impulse buy price. And I want transformer DIs which Orchid don't do. Ah! I did ...

Why? You’re not going to find anything desirable in a 15 quid DI. Just get some more Orchids. They’re cheap enough!

Just to throw the cat amongst the pigeons……. I usually prefer cardioids as drum room mics. The crucial thing I find though, is to point the mics away from the kit so the drums are in the null of the polar pattern. This way the mics are only capturing the reflections of the room and no direct sound. I ...

What happened to driverless cars? The rollout would appear to have stalled. The fact is they don't work. AI my arse.

Driverless cars are common in San Francisco. Look up Waymo.

I’ve bought from Trifibre in the past (pre brexit) and they were great to deal with.

I’ve entered too. Is it an absolute requirement to follow them on Instagram? The email I got says: “ Dan, thank you for registration - YOU'RE IN! 🎉 “ It also says “Be sure to follow us on Instagram” but surely if they say you’re in, then you’re in. I’m not convinced. I’ve never won anything in my lif ...

Who doesn't love a long, boring analogy?

Well I certainly do. And that’s a particularly good one. Good to see you back around these parts Jack!

What an amazing career he had. Taken far too early.

Not sure if this belongs in a different forum so mods please feel free to move it. I'm wondering if there is an app or plugin that I can use with my iPad to analyse realtime audio. Currently I use my Audient iD22 with my Mac for these duties which include mono summing and monitoring the ‘sides’ ...
